The main character in Cobra Kai all seasons is Daniel LaRusso.
While the series focuses on the rivalry between Daniel and Johnny Lawrence, Daniel's journey of self-discovery, family, and business is the central narrative thread throughout the show.
- Season 1: Daniel is shown struggling to adjust to a changing world, facing challenges in his business and personal life.
- Season 2: He rekindles his old rivalry with Johnny, taking on the role of a mentor to his students.
- Season 3: He grapples with the consequences of Cobra Kai's resurgence and faces his own past demons.
- Season 4: He faces new challenges as he tries to unite the Valley's karate schools and protect his students from the dangers of Cobra Kai.
- Season 5: He continues to grapple with Johnny's erratic behavior and the fallout from the Valley's karate wars.
Although the series is a continuation of the Karate Kid franchise, it is important to note that Cobra Kai goes beyond simply rehashing the original story. It explores the characters' complexities and examines the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the legacy of violence.
